H1Z1 Offline for Eight Hours, Item Dupe Glitch Fixed Quickly

Following the introduction of the latest patch, eight hours ago SOE president John Smedley said a bug had slipped through. Smedley posted another update to Twitter a few hours later, which read “Still working on two issues. Sorry for the extended downtime. Kind of issues that must be solved and not just go back to last patch.”

Issues currently drawing heat from the H1Z1 playerbase include quest markers buried under piles of dirt, blocked doorways, and an item duplication glitch which found its way onto the live servers. That said, SOE was quick to act.

The latest patch to the live servers includes changes to structural integrity, rebalanced melee options, and some new recipes to name but a few. You can find all the latest patch notes in this thread here.

The Early Access zombie MMO has had a fairly rocky start since its release a short time ago, with some players voicing their concerns over SOE’s decision to include paid airdrops. For more on that, and SOE’s response, follow the link.
